Do breasts get smaller as swelling subsides after augmentation?<\/h2>\n

During the first few weeks, the breasts can appear to lose some size<\/strong>, especially compared with the first hours or days, when swelling is greater. However, this does not mean the implant has become smaller or that the result will keep shrinking.<\/p>\n

Most swelling subsides during the first month. Slower changes in shape, feel, and settling continue afterward. For most patients, size is fairly stable from six months onward, although some do not see the final result until a year.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
